    <p class="noindent">
        Artistic Style is a source code indenter, formatter, and beautifier for the C, C++, C++/CLI, Objective&#8209;C,
        C# and Java programming languages.
    </p>
    <p class="noindent">
        When indenting source code, we as programmers have a tendency to use both spaces and tab characters to create
        the wanted indentation. Moreover, some editors by default insert spaces instead of tabs when pressing the tab
        key, and other editors (Emacs for example) have the ability to "pretty up" lines by automatically setting up the
        white space before the code on the line, possibly inserting spaces in a code that up to now used only tabs for
        indentation.
    </p>
    <p class="noindent">
        Since the NUMBER of space characters showed on screen for each tab character in the source code changes between
        editors (unless the user sets up the number to his liking...), one of the standard problems programmers are facing
        when moving from one editor to another is that code containing both spaces and tabs that was up to now perfectly
        indented, suddenly becomes a mess to look at when changing to another editor. Even if you as a programmer take
        care to ONLY use spaces or tabs, looking at other people's source code can still be problematic.
    </p>
    <p class="noindent">
        To address this problem, Artistic Style was created &#8211; a filter written in C++ that automatically re-indents
        and re-formats C / C++ / Objective&#8209;C / C++/CLI / C# / Java source files. It can be used from a command line,
        or it can be incorporated as classes in another C++ program.
    </p>

    <h3>
        <a href="astyle.html">Documentation</a>
    </h3>

    <p>
        There is complete documentation for using Artistic Style. The documentation needed to install and run Artistic
        Style is included in the distribution package. It does not need an Internet connection.
    </p>

    <h3>
        <a href="news.html">News</a> and <a href="notes.html">Release Notes</a>
    </h3>

    <p>
        These contain information on the changes in the current release. The News contains information on major changes
        and how they might affect the use of Artistic Style. The Release Notes contains a list of all changes made to
        the program. Information on old releases is also listed.

    <h3>
        <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/astyle/files/">Download</a>
    </h3>

    <p>
        The latest release can be downloaded from the SourceForge file releases page. A link to the "latest version" near
        the top of the page will download the correct package for your platform. Or you can select the appropriate
        package from the "astyle" release folders. The Windows package contains a compiled binary. Other platforms
        will need to compile the source code. Makefiles are included for the most popular compilers. Follow the install
        instructions for the appropriate platform as described in the "Install" documentation.
    </p>

    <h3>
        <a href="subversion.html">Subversion</a>
    </h3>

    <p>
        The latest development files can be checked out from the Artistic Style repository using Subversion.
    </p>

    <h3>
        <a href="install.html">Install</a>
    </h3>

    <p>
        This containd information on compiling and installing Artistic Style. The Windows platform comes with a precompiled
        executable. Other platforms must compile the project. Follow the instructions for the appropriate platform (Linux,
        Mac, or Windows).

        Artistic Style may be used and distributed under version 3 the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html"><b>
            GNU Lesser General Public License</b></a> (LGPL). The LGPL is a set of additional permissions added to version
        3 of the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html">GNU General Public License</a>. You can use Artistic Style
        in free or commercial software without charge. Projects that use Artistic Style do not have to make the source
        code available. If Artistic Style itself is modified, however, the modified Artistic Style source code must be
        made available.
    </p>

    <h3>
        <a href="scripts.html">Scripts</a>
    </h3>

    <p>
        This page contains scripts to support the Artistic Style program. They are in various script languages and work
        on different platforms. It includes scripts to clean the directories of backup files created by Artistic Style.
    </p>

    <h3>
        <a href="links.html">Links</a>
    </h3>

    <p>
        There are several applications that use Artistic Style as contributed software. It is either embedded in the application
        or called as a command line program. The applications include Graphical User Interfaces to view the effect of
        formatting on the source code, development environments for various platforms, and other software. There 
        are also links to style information and various style guides.</p>

    <h3>
        <a href="http://astyle.sourceforge.net/develop/">Developer Information</a>
    </h3>

    <p>
        Artistic Style has compile options for creating a shared library (DLL) or static library for use with a Graphical
        User Interface (GUI). With the Java Development Kit (JDK) installed it can be compiled as a Java Native Interface
        (JNI) and called from a Java program. The Developer Information documents the calling procedure and has example
        programs for C++, C++/CLI, Objective&#8209;C, Java, C#, and Python.
    </p>

    <h3>Bug Reports, Change Requests, Update Notifications</h3>

    <p>
        Bug reports and change requests should be submitted to the <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/astyle/bugs/">bug tracker
            page</a>. You must be logged in to SourceForge to submit a report. If possible include an example
        that shows the problem. It does not need to be functional code. Note that code copied and pasted into the bug
        report <strong>will not be indented</strong> after the data is submitted. You must indicate the indentation when
        you submit the request (e.g. replace leading spaces with periods).
    </p>
    <p>
        The best way to subscribe to update notifications is using the <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/astyle/">
            SourceForge Project Page</a> &quot;Update Notifications&quot; button. The option to subscribe is also displayed
        during a file download. The subscription options for a project can be modified using the &quot;Me&quot;, &quot;Account
        Settings&quot; option on the SourceForge bar at the top of the page. Select the &quot;Subscriptions&quot; tab
        and check the notifications you want. Usually only the &quot;files&quot; option is needed.
    </p>
    <p>
        You can also subscribe to change notifications using an RSS feed. There is an RSS symbol on the 
        <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/astyle/files/">SourceForge Files</a> page. Or you can use the &quot;subscriptions&quot;
        or &quot;add content&quot; option available in your RSS reader.
